Two skiers and a snowboarder ride up the Knob Hill chairlift at Sugar Bowl Ski Resort on Wednesday, March 18, 2015, in Norden, Calif. In the background is the snowless 7988-foot Donner Peak. Warm Winter weather has sped up the closure of several Tahoe area ski resorts - including Sugar Bowl - following a promising start to the season. The drought is also forcing resort operators to find new attractions to lure tourists.
